My favorite one to date has got to be fitting in the booth at our favorite Mexican restaurant without having to move the table closer to my son. Plus, having lots of room between my belly and the table.

The others:

Seeing all the bones in my feet and ankles

Having just 1 chin

My son wrapping his arms around me and getting excited that he can clasp his hands for a "real hug".

All of my rings and bracelets being too big

Buying regular sized clothes from Old Navy

Having my dermatologist not even recognize me until she read my chart, that was an amazing feeling.

Ha! I had the classic just now. I was walking through my living room with my daughter in arms, and could feel my jeans inching down on one side!!!! and then.... wooshka! down around my ankles they went!! *hysterically laughing* and there it is...my first real embarassing NSV (lucky I bought some very neat smalls in a smaller size last week!!!!)

Chancie, I love your NSV #4 wearing a summer dress and feeling like a lady. I haven't been able to do that in sooo long. I am hoping for that next summer. How wonderful for you, it's inspiring me. I love that feeling too, and sure do miss wearing summer dresses.

Maybe we should all write these victories down on paper and post above the scale, so when we have a stall, we can look at all our victories, and keep on going.

I lost my husband due to a massive heart attack on 3/2/2020. This journey just gets harder & harder. In the past 5-1/2 yrs I've lost both of my parents AND my husband. It's a miracle that I've managed to do this bariatric weight-loss at all. ... Right after my husband's death I was having trouble getting in enough food or hydration, now, the past couple of days I have been on the opposite end of the spectrum. Now I'm worried that I'm going to backslide and gain back some of the weight I've lost... I don't want that to happen, but am at a total loss what to do other than being hyper-vigilant about my food intake which, admittedly, will work, but I feel is unrealistic. I'm open to suggestions, not judgements.
